OK, the most obvious aspect of the tribute Town Car on BAT is the entire back end of the body.

Here is the tribute car (note the rounded, typical Fordor shape of the back and corners of the car, in front of the trunk and below the rear window) :


...and here is a genuine Town Car (note the unique, very sharp rear, lower corners which are actually cast aluminum trim parts) and unique very flat back of the car and how the area below the rear window rises much higher and how squared off the rear roof edges are:


Note also the shape of the top hinge on the front door, which on the tribute car, is just a regular Fordor hinge where as on the genuine TC, it has a unique different shape (and is actually a cast/machined aluminum part that extends down the front of the window track/frame).

Note also the correct unique outside rear view mirror on the genuine Town Car in the lower photo.
